“Fabulous !”
+What a nice and welcoming home! We had a wonderfull time ! Very well located on walking distance from grocery shop and 30 minutes walk to Rovaniemi. Fantastic nature and we were so lucky to spot the northern light from the (beautifull) backyard. At our arrival, the house was warm and welcoming and what a great surprise to find some supplies and treats from our host ! We would not hesitate to return !

“A magical winter fairytale stay with aurora views and a wonderful host!”
+A truly beautiful cottage straight out of a winter fairytale. The location is excellent, the facilities are fantastic, and the host was incredibly helpful and genuinely lovely. Despite the outside temperature dropping to -23°C, the house was wonderfully cosy and warm throughout our stay. The garden area and the barbecue shed were a real highlight,fully stocked and perfect for enjoying a sausage dinner outdoors in the middle of winter, which was such a special experience. What made it even more magical was being able to see the aurora from the garden,not once, but twice, in all its splendour. Check-in was effortless, the host kindly welcomed us with a well-stocked fridge, and the Wi-Fi was excellent. Our 7-day stay was absolutely magical from start to finish. It was a joy to stay in a house as gorgeous as Rovaniemi itself, with such a thoughtful host. Worth mentioning as well: the nearby ski area is brilliant,quiet, uncrowded, with fresh snow,and only a 5-minute walk from the cottage. A day on the slopes is a must. We will definitely be back, either to experience the summer or to enjoy another unforgettable winter break. Highly recommended!
−Nothing negative - it was a brilliant location and a wonderful experience!

“A wonderful, magical stay in a lovely house.”
+The garden is lovely (we saw white rabbits during the day & the Northern Lights one night!) The sauna is fantastic at the end of each day. Location just a short walk from ski slopes & not too far to walk home from city centre. So much nicer than staying in a resort or in the city centre. Although we never met the host she was very helpful in booking a taxi from the airport for us & responded quickly to queries. She was generous too in not expecting us to do a DEEP clean before leaving (as some Air b&b do!!) Of course we tidied up but removing this pressure was helpful at check out time. We really enjoyed staying here, would happily return and recommend it wholeheartedly.
−At first we couldn't find nearby restaurants nor shops but got our bearings after the first day. Thankfully the host had kindly left ingredients for breakfast so were fuelled to find the supermarket is just over the bridge - about a 15 minute walk. And the public bus goes from there to Santa Claus Village. Check times online as buses seem to only run once per hour per route. Taxis were very reliable.

“Amazing house, amazing host”
+tarja's house is in a great location to reach both Rovaniemi, Santa Clause village and the airport. the house is very clean, tidy, warm, the view is incredibly beautiful. Tarja had thought of everything down to the smallest detail. She had put lots of nice food in the fridge for us with a very sweet note. On the last night we saw the northern lights in the backyard. Everything was great. Thank you Tarja
